Future
- In the future I want to be an Airline Pilot.
- Why: Becasue I like flying a lot and I like airplanes a lot and it's somehting that I'm really passionate about. Seeing the cockpit of the airplane with all of the buttons is somehting that I'm interested to learn about and it's somehting that make me happy.
- When:I'm planning to start trainging after I get my bachelor's degree in Computer Science. Having a bachelor's degree will give me better oppourtunites than people who are in the airlines with no bachelor's degree such as highr management positions in the airlines and I also can be an airline pilot in the major airlines so I can travel to differnt countries around the world.
- Requirements:Degree: If you want to be in the regional airlines you don't need a degree. If you want to be in the major airlines you need a bachelor's degree. Certification: Commercial pilot certificate with mult-engine airplane privileges and instrument rating FCC radio licence. Experience: 1,500 flight hours, meeting requirments for the Airline Transport Pilot certificate. Age: 21 years old or older.
- Time:It normaly takes two years to finish(full time) but there's some accelerated programs that can get you in the airlines in seven months.
- Pay: The pay varies depending on the experience, the type of airplane you fly, the company you fly for, and if you fly for regional airlines or major airlines. The pay range is 50k-600k, you can even make more but as I said it depends on different factors.
- Work schedule: Pilots fly an average of 75 hours a month and work an additional 150 hours a month performing other duties such as checking weather conditions and preparing flight plans.
